The Difficulty of Finding the Right Romantic Match

Finding the right romantic partner
has been too random for me

Never found the right one,
the meeting of hearts and minds

always ideal compatibilities lacking
making the best of less than the ideal

the romantic love often compensates
but still something wished for is missing

I don’t think even dating apps
with many ways to find the best match

are perfect enough to find the right one
that you will be a perfect match for

maybe some feel or know
they found the perfect person for them

I’m happy that they are living the dream
of finding the right one

I hope like some dreams that end in disappointment
their dreams endure

To me, they’re proof the randomness
sometimes works

and blessed and lucky are they
unlike many others and me.

Red-Haired Women

Some say red-haired women
are hot-headed
I’ve always wondered
if there was anything to that
regret to say
I’ve never been with one
due to the rarity of them
but I’ve always found
red hair enchanting
I’ve always thought
there might be
something mysterious
something magical
about red-haired women
of course that was
probably bunk
and foolish thinking
but they will remain
mysterious and
magical to me
unless I meet one
in the afterlife
and find out
how they really are.

Strange Creatures

Flying in and out of dimensions
strange creatures
some UFOs and aliens
not of our world
maybe not of our galaxy
maybe worlds we
cannot see with telescopes
or even begin to fathom
perhaps cryptids too
bigfoot, dogman,
mothman et al
perhaps some
are nameless
invisible entities
abducting humans
in national parks.
